Social Perception-Behind the Mask • Attribution – guessing how people will act from limited information • We attribute people’s behavior to various causes • Right or wrong, our conclusions affect how WE act Attribution Theory • External cause – lies outside a person (reaction to environment) • Internal cause – lie within a person (needs/personality traits) • To understand social behavior we must consider the attributions we make

Making Attributions • When making attributions we are sensitive to how consistent and distinctive person’s behavior is. • Consistent – changes very little when observed on many different occasions • Distinctiveness – behavior occurs only under specific circumstances How do you know if someone dislikes you? (or is not interested beyond a casual acquaintance? ) https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=s. Mnl 6 gd 1 Vf. E • To deduce: we take into account the behavior of the actor (person of interest, the object the person’s action is directed toward, and the setting (social or physical environment) • When we make attributions we are sensitive to situational demands affecting others’ behavior (funeral, classroom, new school, hanging out with friends) • Consensus – when many people act alike = external factor

Actor and Observer • Seldom know reason’s for other’s actions, thus, we infer cause from circumstance – risks misinterpretation • Fundamental Attribution Error – attributing the actions of others to internal causes • Actor-observer bias – we tend to see our own behaviors as externally motivated • We observe people being influenced by their wants, motives and personality traits • As actors we tend to find external explanations for our own behavior • Ex. College major, not leaving a tip, and being late • Deaux/Emswiller study (1974) • Gender Attribution Error – males seen as skilled/females seen as lucky • As early as kindergarten – boys take credit for success/girls discount their own performance
